Introduction

The Electronic Viewfinder (EVF)

The electronic viewfinder provides the same information as the monitor, and can be

used when bright lighting conditions make the display in the monitor difficult to see.

Press EVF/LCD button to select from the auto switch, monitor, or electric view finder

mode. When the auto switch mode is set, the electric view finder turns on automati-

cally when you put your eye to the view finder, and the monitor turns on when you

take your eye away (note that the eye sensor may not respond if you are wearing

glasses or your head is an angle to the camera).

Eye sensor

The camera is equipped with diopter adjustment to accommodate individual dif-

ferences in vision. Slide the diopter adjustment control up and down until the view-

finder display is in sharp focus.

Bright Ambient Lighting

Reflections and glare caused by bright ambient lighting may make it hard to see the display in the monitor,

particularly when the camera is used outdoors. This can be addressed by holding the EVF/LCD button to trigger

outdoor mode. Outdoor mode can also be enabled using the T MONITOR SUNLIGHT MODE option in the

setup menu (P102).

than the standard dimensions of an SD/SDHC/SDXC

card may not eject normally; if the card does not

eject, take the camera to an authorized service repre-

sentative. Do not forcibly remove the card.

■ Compatible Memory Cards

FUJIFILM and SanDisk SD, SDHC, and SDXC mem-

ory cards have been approved for use in the cam-

era. A complete list of approved memory cards

is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/support/

digital_cameras/compatibility/. Operation is not

guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not

be used with xD-Picture Cards or MultiMediaCard

(MMC) devices.

• Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels

can cause camera malfunction.

• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types

of SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card. Use a Gcard

or better when shooting HD or high-speed movies.

• The data in internal memory may be erased or cor-

rupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that

the repairer will be able to view pictures in internal

memory.

• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the

camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored.

Do not rename or delete this folder or use a comput-

er or other device to edit, delete, or rename image

files. Always use the camera to delete pictures from

memory cards and internal memory; before editing

or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit

or rename the copies, not the originals.

cMemory Cards

• Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory

card while the memory card is being formatted or

data are being recorded to or deleted from the card.

Failure to observe this precaution could damage the

card.

• Format SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards before first

use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards af-

ter using them in a computer or other device. For

more information on formatting memory cards, see

“K FORMAT” (P100).

• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep

out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory

card, seek medical assistance immediately.

too quickly or too slowly. Panning the camera in a

direction other than that shown cancels shooting.

• The desired results may not be achieved with mov-

ing subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying

subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects

that are in constant motion, such as waves and wa-

terfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in

brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject

OFF

When macro mode is in effect, the camera focuses on subjects near the center of the frame. Use the

zoom ring to compose pictures. The following restrictions apply in super macro mode: the lens must

be zoomed all the way out (at other zoom positions, ois displayed) and the flash can not be used.

• Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur caused by camera shake.

• Flash compensation may be required when using the flash (P89).

• Using the flash at close range may cast a lens shadow. Zoom a little or have more distance from the subject.

NUsing the Flash (Super-Intelligent Flash)

When the flash is used, the camera’s Super-Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes the scene based

on such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the

camera. Flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed

while preserving the effects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. Use the

flash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.

Raise the flash.

Press the flash pop-up button to raise the flash.

Choose a flash mode.

Press the selector right (N). The flash mode changes each time the selector is pressed.

N/L

The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural

(FORCED FLASH) coloration when shooting in bright light.

O/M

Capture both the main subject and the background under low light (note that

(SLOW SYNCHRO) brightly lit scenes may be overexposed).

NUsing the Flash (Super-Intelligent Flash)

The flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

• The peripheral part of an image may be dark when using the flash.

• Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows in photos taken with the flash.

Red-Eye Removal

When Intelligent Face Detection is active (P54), and ON is selected for BRED EYE REMOVAL in the

setup menu (P103), red-eye removal is available in K, L, and M.

Red-eye removal minimizes “red-eye” caused when light from the flash is reflected from the subject’s

retinas as shown in the illustration at right.

Turning the Flash Off

Lower the flash where flash photography is prohibited or to capture natural lighting un-

der dim light. At slow shutter speeds, kwill be displayed to warn that pictures may be

blurred; use of a tripod is recommended.
